Trying to get me to confirm the last 4 digits of my social security number. This time the number came from (201) 297-4336, and their name was supposedly Mynor Gomez from the Van Ru Credit corporation. After I aksed him how he could live with himself by scamming people, he gave me their 'corporate number; (888) 837-8972. I've confirmed this is a bogus number. I said "Why did you call from (201) 297-4336". He said "Because I'm calling from Chicago". I said "well, that's your next problem, (201) area code is New Jersey."
This is Van Ru Credit Corporation, the collectors for the Department of Education. They are harrassing me about once a week or so at this point. Calling and when I pick up, you here "click" as they hang up. Can't talk to them about it if they aren't on the phone. The one time we got a person, I wasn't even home, my husband answered. The lady on the end decided to have a conversation with him about this(very illegal as he is not me) and finished off by threatening him.

Just got one today. I think they started out in recent months by having a recorded message try to get me to give out my information. They called me at work. Said it was regarding a debt. I threatened to sue for calling me at work. Caller responded by telling me to have a good one. I immediately looked up the number and found this blog. Thanks for validating that this was some kind of scam. I really appreciate it.
